Famous quotes containing the words attacks and/or carried:

    Neither the wrath of Heaven nor the attacks of enemies
    are as fatal as Pleasure alone when she infects the mind.
    Silius Italicus (26–101)

    The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
    With all their lives and cares,
    Are carried downwards by thy flood,
    And lost in following years.

    Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
    Bears all its sons away;
    They fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.
    Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
